Our beautiful baby girl was born on Thursday, April 23rd at 11:35 pm. She’s pretty high-tech, so upon getting some small amount of sleep, she went online, created a gmail account, and sent an email out announcing her arrival:

“I just wanted to let everyone know that I am here and doing wonderfully! Since I was up anyway to feed, I just wanted to send a quick note and pictures to everyone before falling back asleep!

I was born at 11:35 pm last night on Thursday, April 23rd, and weigh 7 lbs, 10.5 ounces, and am 18.5 inches long. My mom was pretty amazing last night during the birth – my dad tells me she was quite the rockstar!

A couple of people have asked me about my name already, so I wanted to explain it.
Both names are Hebrew – Aviva means “spring (as in the season)” and Tzipora means “bird”.
I am named in honor of my mom’s grandfather Ellis, and my dad’s Bubbie (grandmother) Jeannette, both via their Hebrew/Yiddish names.

I’ve attached some pics of me for you as well….

Love,
Aviva

(PS Feel free to let others know I am here, and I am excited to meet everyone!)”

She’s asleep on my lap right now, so I thought it would be a good time to thank everyone who’s sent us well-wishes, and send out some really cute pictures we have taken (if you are on facebook, you’ve likely already seen them -  but there’s a couple new ones from today as well)… (if you read this in a blog reader, you’ll need to visit the actual page to view the slideshow)
